delayed, owing to the illness of one of the judges, yellow at either side of each group.
We hope to announce the results next month. The following are awarded honourable mention:

- Abracadabra (Harry A. Churchill, St. Paul's

The Second Prize in the Tapestry Competition, Square, Burton-on-Trent): a good design in
Madder Brown, has been awarded to Miss Ger- itself, but too monotonous for the worker, and not

specially suitable for a cushion. Bat (Mrs. C.
F. Dawson, Leonard's Place, Bingley, Yorks) :
good as a design, but requiring more work than
the effect would repay. Berthiah (Miss B. N.
Graham, 35 Prince's Gate, S.W.): well adapted
for the needle, and with varied interest in work-
ing, but rather too mechanical in its presen-
tation. Boss (Miss H. M. Fernie, Wychwood,
West Street, Scarborough): this fine colour scheme
of oranges and browns is peculiarly well adapted
for the material, and excellent in every way.
Chalks (Miss F. Philips, 11 North Avenue, Clar-
endon Park, Leicester) : could the clever effect of
the work be preserved with the needle this would
be excellent. Cantab (Miss Edith L. Ferrabee,
7 Panton Street, Cambridge) : pleasing in the
colour of the conventional flowers and foliage.
Enid (Miss Gertrude Roots, The White House,
St. Peter's, Canterbury) : a good arrangement of
animal forms and conventional foliage in colours
on a green background. Eric (Isabel Brittain, 11
Highfield, Scarborough): the colour in this group
for applique and crewels is unusual and good; but
the reproduction fails to convey the conspicuous
originality of the coloured design. Fa?icy (Miss
Amy Siers, Greenhill Road, Moseley, Birmingham):

which is peculiarly graceful in colour and line, but
